[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 9340197, member: 70"] The SFBC STILL EXISTS!!! It was SO AMAZING back then. All these books I'd never even heard of! And I forgot to send that thing back a LOT. Anyway, Cherryh is a...demanding writer. She's very good. Very very VERY good. But the story goes at her pace, in her way, and sometimes that's slow. And then everything suddenly explodes, and the last quarter of the book is absolutely hell for the leather the whole way. She's also very psychological, and interested in alien psyches, and politics and political maneuvering. [I]Heavy Time[/I] was, in a weird way, about union negotiations. Or it's [I]Gehenna[/I] and it just sort of goes along. I really like the Chanur books. Highly recommend. They get better as you go along, too. Should be available in an omnibus or something. Also the Morgaine Cycle, which is TECHNICALLY SF but basically fantasy. [/QUOTE]
